3. Which of the following option is not true?

The energy consumed by water heater in 15 days is 30% of the energy consumed by washing machine in 30 days.

The energy consumed by Air cooler in 5 days is 150% of the energy consumed by TV in 5 days.

The energy consumed by washing machine in a day is 20% of the energy consumed by all the appliances in a day.

30% of the energy consumed by washing machine in 30 days = 150 * 30/100

= 45 units

This option is true.

6.

Find the probability of drawing three balls of different colours from the bag.

The bag contains only three different coloured balls viz. red, white and blue.

Probability of drawing one red ball from the bag is ¼.

Probability of drawing one blue ball from the bag is 1/3.

All I, II and III

Any two of the three

Only I and III

Any one of the three

Even I, II and III together are not sufficient.

Explanation:

Answer: e)

Let, red = x

White = y

Blue = z

From I:

The bag contains only three different coloured balls viz. red, white and blue.

From II:

Probability of drawing one red ball from the bag is ¼.

From III:

Probability of drawing one blue ball from the bag is 1/3.

From I, II and III:

x/(x + y + z) = ¼

=> 4x = x + y + z

=> 3x – y – z = 0

And

z/(x + y + z) = 1/3

=> 3z = x + y + z

=> x + y – 2z = 0

Since, there are three variables, we need three equations to solve the question.

Hence, even I, II and III together are not sufficient.

Explanation:

Answer: e)

Let, red = x

White = y

Blue = z

From I:

The bag contains only three different coloured balls viz. red, white and blue.

From II:

Probability of drawing one red ball from the bag is ¼.

From III:

Probability of drawing one blue ball from the bag is 1/3.

From I, II and III:

x/(x + y + z) = ¼

=> 4x = x + y + z

=> 3x – y – z = 0

And

z/(x + y + z) = 1/3

=> 3z = x + y + z

=> x + y – 2z = 0

Since, there are three variables, we need three equations to solve the question.

Hence, even I, II and III together are not sufficient.

Question 7 of 10

Directions (6 – 10): In each of the following questions, a question is followed by two/three statements I, II and III. Read all the statements to find the answer to given question and then answer accordingly that which statement/s can give the answer alone/together.

7.

Find the difference between the compound interest and simple interest on that sum after two years at the rate of r % per annum.

The sum amounts to Rs. 44100 on compound interest at 5% per annum after two years.

Simple interest on Rs. 25000 at r % per annum after four years will be Rs. 8000.

The sum amounts to Rs. 59200 at 8% per annum after six years using simple interest.

All I, II and III

Any two of the three

Only II and III

Only II and either I or III

Even I, II and III together are not sufficient.

Explanation:

Answer: d)

From I and II:

We know that

Amount on CI = P x (1 + r/100)t

=> 44100 = P x (1 + 5/100)2

=> 44100 = P x (105/100) x (105/100)

=> P = 44100 x (100/105) x (100/105)

=> P = Rs.40000

And

We know that

SI = (P x r x t)/100

8000 = (25000 x r x 4)/100

=> 8000 = 1000 x r

=> r = 8%

We know that, for two years

CI – SI = P x (r/100)2

= 40000 x (8/100)2

= 40000 x (2/25)2

= 40000 x 4/625

= Rs. 256

From II and III:

We know that

SI = (P x r x t)/100

8000 = (25000 x r x 4)/100

=> 8000 = 1000 x r

=> r = 8%

And

Amount on SI = (P x r x t)/100 + P

=> 59200 = (P x 8 x 6)100 + P

=> 59200 = 48P/100 + P

=> 59200 = (48P + 100P)/100

=> 59200 = 148P/100

=> P = 592000 x 100/148

=> P = Rs. 40000

We know that, for two years

CI – SI = P x (r/100)2

= 40000 x (8/100)2

= 40000 x (2/25)2

= 40000 x (4/625)

= Rs. 256

Hence, Only II and either I or III are sufficient.

Explanation:

Answer: d)

From I and II:

We know that

Amount on CI = P x (1 + r/100)t

=> 44100 = P x (1 + 5/100)2

=> 44100 = P x (105/100) x (105/100)

=> P = 44100 x (100/105) x (100/105)

=> P = Rs.40000

And

We know that

SI = (P x r x t)/100

8000 = (25000 x r x 4)/100

=> 8000 = 1000 x r

=> r = 8%

We know that, for two years

CI – SI = P x (r/100)2

= 40000 x (8/100)2

= 40000 x (2/25)2

= 40000 x 4/625

= Rs. 256

From II and III:

We know that

SI = (P x r x t)/100

8000 = (25000 x r x 4)/100

=> 8000 = 1000 x r

=> r = 8%

And

Amount on SI = (P x r x t)/100 + P

=> 59200 = (P x 8 x 6)100 + P

=> 59200 = 48P/100 + P

=> 59200 = (48P + 100P)/100

=> 59200 = 148P/100

=> P = 592000 x 100/148

=> P = Rs. 40000

We know that, for two years

CI – SI = P x (r/100)2

= 40000 x (8/100)2

= 40000 x (2/25)2

= 40000 x (4/625)

= Rs. 256

Hence, Only II and either I or III are sufficient.
